Perfect Christmas Gift for Mom - Sailing Vacation!

Racking your brain for a Christmas gift for your wife or mother???

What better gift for a busy Mom than a fully-crewed yacht charter vacation in the Caribbean?  No planning, no cooking, no dishes, no cleaning -- only leisurely days spent reconnecting with family and exploring the delights of the Virgin Islands -- white sand beaches, colorful reefs, exhilarating sailing, and peaceful star-filled nights.

A mom aboard the Catamaran Amaryllis summed it up perfectly:
"There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our week on Amaryllis was! We loved our experiences snorkeling, kayaking and hiking. Bruce and Laura were  wonderful with our daughters - spending time sharing their bits of knowledge with them and including them in discussions. After returning home to New England, I realized what was so special about the week. Bruce and Laura take care of you - you are really on vacation. It was a very relaxing and memorable experience that we look forward to sharing in again!"
We still have some excellent yachts available for the holidays, but if that's a bit too last minute, perhaps a sailing vacation for her birthday, Mother's Day, or a week that fits into HER schedule :)

Happy Holidays!

News from Charter Catamaran AMARYLLIS

Bruce & Laura, have been busy spiffing up AMARYLLIS, their 45-foot Privilege catamaran, for the new charter season.

Charter Yacht Amaryllis - Catamaran Sailing Vacations in the Virgin Islands

Amaryllis is sporting new main salon cushions, new main salon table, new cockpit cushions, and new Corian counters in the galley.


They also have a new forward awning to provide shade for the foredeck and have added a stand-up-paddle board to their list of a toys.  Amaryllis is one of the few charter yachts that carries a windsurfer and provides instruction. They now have a router and WiFi service in the BVI for guests' use.


Here are some photos from a recent charter.  They did morning yoga on the foredeck and got everyone out on water toys on Thanksgiving Day at Bitter End!

Amaryllis is an excellent choice for family charters. Having raised two kids on boats in the Virgin Islands, Laura & Bruce especially enjoy having kids on board.  Whether towing kids around the harbor in a tube, introducing them to snorkeling, or teaching new card games, they always have a great time.

The catamaran Amaryllis is fully air conditioned and accommodates up to 6 guests in 3 of their 4 cabins. The two identical forward cabins that have double berths, each with ensuite heads. The two aft cabins also have double berths but differ in that they each have a sink in the cabin and share a head/shower located next to the cabin in the starboard hull. Amaryllis is a great choice for two couples, or a family of 4-6.

With 20 years' experience sailing in the Virgin Islands, Bruce & Laura know they can provide their guests with the vacation they've dreamed of, whether they are first time visitors to the VI or repeat charterers looking to revisit favorite spots and discover new ones. Amaryllis offers exceptional food & drink and a variety of water sports including snorkeling, wind-surfing, kayaking, tubing... Bruce is a sailing instructor and offers information instruction for those who are interested. Amaryllis is a non-smoking yacht.

AMARYLLIS is currently available for NEW YEARS

CLIENT COMMENTS for Paradise Connections

Happy honeymoon clients with nice things to say about us... of course :)
  • How did you find the services offered by Paradise Connections?
You guys were great. We'll book through you again! I contacted several booking companies and all of them weren't interested in a short and inexpensive charter. You gave us 100% which means next year when we bring the parents and family for a long and more expensive charter we will give you the business.
Thanks Matt & Jessica, this really made our day!

We care about all of our clients... whether for weekends, full weeks or longer... honeymooners, families, college students, movie stars... everyone gets the same dedicated service and attention to detail.

I'm awarding us a gold star! Why not toot your own horn?
